"You just have to make sure you put in the pressure on the training field and if you get given a chance, take it".

It's no surprise that the nation's expectations are low heading to Russian Federation.

However, Rashford being back fit will be a major boost for England boss Gareth Southgate. Defender Kyle Walker even acknowledged it would be a "miracle" if England won football's biggest prize this year.

Ferdinand even reflected on his own time within the England set-up, stating that every time he endured a disappointing moment with England, it allowed for a period of analytical self-reflection that he believes will hopefully benefit this England team in the long-run.

England's medical staff are treating a knee issue that Southgate called a "slight knock" upon touching down in Russian Federation on Tuesday, with midfielder Jordan Henderson using a similarly relaxed tone the following day.

The most straightforward department for Southgate: Harry Kane will start as the central striker, with Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford as backups.

World champions Germany (62,541), China (40,251) and Australia (36,359) make up the top 10, with Poland, Sweden and Denmark also expected to be backed by thousands of supporters during the tournament.
